Have recently come over  setup with:

2 cabs RCF Event 6000 2x15+8”+1”
2 cabs RCF ESW 1018 1x18”

For now I use the Event 6000 passive.

For what I know many use this speakers together
but how to cross between the 18” and the 15”?

Some kind of overlap in the bass range for maximum performance?

It feels like a shame to cross away everything under 120 Hz
For the 15”:s?

All ideas welcome here..

Not an ideal situation.  Maybe a gentle slope and 90hz?

Well if it is all set up properly then use the 2x15 bit as kick, after all the 8 does most of the mids. Just mess with 80 to 100 hz and slopes until you like it. Personally I would prefer 2 x 18 cabs to one of those 6000's (damn good cab) then 80/90 hz with gentle slope to create a bit of overlap.

My JBL 2226 cross to Event 1000 at 100hz, not that that helpsTongue

80hz 24dB/oct, do not overlap with low value slopes it just makes a mess of the midbass.  The system needs at least another pair of 118s though.
